Synopsis
Rikke Brewer and best friend Aiden Knox, working-class teenagers, hone their gravity defying UrbEx and Parkour skills, dreaming of escape from boring Guildford. Behind the spectacular stunts and millions of online ‘likes’ lies a darker story — a friend’s traumatic death and fragile mental health — threatening to rip their lives apart.
